About AI art

One idea, many ways to see it

Hotpot’s AI Art Generator turns a text prompt into artwork. Explore a collection of artistic styles, from watercolor and oil painting to ink, anime, pixel art, and sculptural 3D images.

Start with a subject, then describe the medium, palette, and composition. Try: a fox sheltering beneath a giant mushroom, watercolor illustration, moss green and warm amber, loose brushwork. Explore the art style collection to find another way to picture the same scene.

Develop an illustration or a new visual direction

Create an illustration for a story, explore a character or imagined world, or experiment with an idea for a personal project. Use the Library to add your own style reference or save a written style.

Select a result to edit it, or adjust your prompt and create another version. Changing the medium, palette, or composition one at a time makes it easier to compare your results. Explore our image gallery for more ideas.

Looking for photographic styles? The AI Image Generator includes photos alongside the full collection of artistic presets.

Explore paintings, illustrations, ink drawings, anime, pixel art, 3D artwork, and more. Describe a subject and choose an artistic style to start.

How can I guide the look of my artwork?

Describe the medium, color palette, composition, and mood. A quiet mountain village in watercolor, soft blue shadows, and loose brushwork gives the generator a clear direction.

Can I use my own style reference?

Yes. Use the Library in the editor to add a style reference or save a written style. Your own references and prompts work alongside the artistic presets.

Can I refine an image after creating it?

Select a result in the editor and describe the changes you want. You can also adjust your original prompt or try another artistic style to explore a new version. Results may need more than one attempt.
